Guiding Eyes has a dedicated veterinary team that supports all dogs in the Brood/Stud Program. Foster volunteers do not have to pay for any pre- authorized veterinary care for their dogs. This veterinary care is provided at Guiding Eyes in New York or, if necessary, your dog may be referred to a veterinary specialist.

• Help during business hours: Guiding Eyes veterinary staff is available by phone or e-mail to answer questions and give advice to foster volunteers. We are not always able to answer the phone, but will call you back as soon as possible. When calling, please leave a message indicating the urgency of the call and a telephone number, either home or cell, where you can be reached. Please do not arrive at the CDC without an appointment as we may not be able to see you in a timely manner.
• A 24-hour pager system is available for life-threatening emergencies. Fosters must identify a 24-hour Emergency Veterinary Clinic close to their residence in case of a Life-Threatening Emergency.
• Health care instructions on the web: The Health Care section is available to foster volunteers who are registered volunteers on the website. You will not see this section unless your registration has been authorized by Guiding Eyes staff and you have logged in.
